Section C - Descriptions and Specifications

ALVIN R. BUSH DAM, CURWENSVILLE LAKE,

FOSTER JOSEPH SAYERS DAM, AND HOWARD LEVEE

HERBICIDE APPLICATION PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PART I – GENERAL

1. OBJECTIVE: The contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, materials, equipment, and supplies to apply herbicide in two separate spray applications at the following locations:

a. Alvin R. Bush Dam, located in Clinton County near Renovo, PA

b. Foster J. Sayers Dam and Howard Levee, located in Centre County near Blanchard and Howard, PA

c. Curwensville Lake, located in Clearfield County near Curwensville, PA

Contractor’s work and responsibility shall include all planning, selection of herbicides, programming, administration, and management necessary to assure that a target kill rate of 100% is achieved in accordance with the contract and all applicable laws, regulations, codes, and directives. The contractor shall perform all related contractor administrative services necessary to perform the work such as procurement, supplying, quality control, work scheduling, contractor financial control, and maintenance of accurate and complete records and files.

2. TECHNICAL POINTS OF CONTACT (TPOCs):

a. Alvin R. Bush Dam – Bob Gardner, 570-923-1800

b. Foster J. Sayers Dam – Craig Eisenhower, 570-962-2500

c. Curwensville Lake – Tim Smay, 814-236-2000

PART II – TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

1. HERBICIDE SELECTION: Herbicides to be used shall be selected by the contractor based on vegetative growth to be eradicated / prevented, toxicity, environmental concerns, and sites to be treated. When selecting herbicides, the contractor shall take into consideration that the treated areas may be used frequently by the public, that there may be freshwater lakes and or/ streams in close proximity, and that desirable vegetation may exist in very close proximity to the designated spray site. The contractor shall furnish to the TPOCs copies of current labels and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) of all proposed herbicides. All herbicides must be approved by the TPOCs before being ordered or purchased by the contractor. The Government reserves the right to deny any herbicides that may be proposed for use by the contractor if prohibited by Local, State, or Federal standards.

2. AREA DESCRIPTIONS:

a. Area A – This includes all areas within 20 feet of bodies of water, standing water, and drainage ditches with flowing water. This is to include rip-rap areas along both sides of the intake channel, upstream and downstream rip-rap embankment of the dam, the rip-rap areas and along the spillway wall upstream of the dam, the rip areas on the south end of the spillway and along the creek bank. Where desirable vegetation is present, spraying limits shall extend to no closer than one inch from desirable vegetation.

b. Area B – This includes all areas more than 20 feet from bodies of water and drainage ditches with flowing water, but where there is the possibility of leeching into the bodies of water. Any areas where there may be the presence of root systems of desirable vegetation such as trees, bushes, and shrubs. All areas along the edge of all buildings, concrete structures, walks, driveways, parking lots, guardrails, fences, headwalls, gate posts, utility structures, etc., as directed by the designated government representative. All gravel roads will be sprayed. Areas will generally be sprayed eight to twelve inches from all above-mentioned objects to eliminate the need of hand trimming of grass and other vegetation growth. Some areas may require wider areas to be treated.

c. Invasive Species Control (ISC) at Foster J. Sayers Dam – Crown Vetch, Autumn Olive, and Queen Anne’s Lace at Foster J. Sayers Dam and Howard Levee shall be sprayed with a broadleaf specific herbicide such as solutions of 2-3% triclopyr or 2,4-D amine or similar herbicides. Targeted spraying of these invasive species will occur in grassy slopes of the levee and dam. These areas will be field-identified during the preconstruction meeting by the TPOCs and shall be sprayed during both the first and second sprayings. Close coordination with the dam tender will be required to ensure project staff mows the areas in question prior to spraying, particularly when spraying autumn olive.

d. ISC at Alvin R. Bush Dam – Multiflora Rose, Barbery Bush, and Autumn Olive at Alvin R. Bush Dam shall be sprayed with herbicide appropriate to control these species. Targeted spraying of these invasive species will occur along specific sections (approximately 2000 yards) of the project boundary lines between four and five miles upstream of the dam. The goal is not to eradicate these species but to maintain a clear boundary clear of invasives. These areas will be field identified during the preconstruction meeting by the TPOCs and shall be sprayed at the time that will result in the greatest efficacy. Close coordination with the dam tender will be required to ensure project staff trim or mow prior to spraying as desired for the greatest effect. The area of work can be accessed on foot or with a small UTV.

3. DETERMINATION OF BOUNDARIES: The exact boundaries of application areas will be defined by the TPOCs or his designee. The majority of the spraying at the dam sites is on the dams and levees, but there are several other sites which include the spillways, outlet works, rip-rap areas and roadways. Formulations will be designed separately for both areas using criteria as described in Part II paragraph 2. All formulation shall include a surfactant, colorant and anti-drift agent.

4. RATE OF SPRAY COVERAGE: The contractor shall use spot-treatment for all areas, spraying only areas with active vegetative growth. Spray shall not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended amount-per-acre. Concentration shall be on the heavy growth areas to ensure a thorough wetting of all vegetation surfaces. All vegetation shall be covered on a spray-to-wet basis, obtaining uniform and complete coverage. All work shall conform to the manufacturer’s recommendations. The application shall be a post-emergence stage application.

5. PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS: The contractor shall provide herbicide spraying services at the project with a target standard kill rate of 100%. The contractor shall be allowed to deviate from the standard by 10%. The surveillance method used by the government will be 100% inspection performed by the TPOCs at the end of each day or the completion of each location. Should the contractor fail to achieve a kill rate of at least 90%, follow up spraying will be conducted at no additional cost to the government to achieve the desired kill rate. Upon satisfactory completion of the Firm-Fixed-Price contract and notification by the TPOCs of inspection and approval, the contractor shall submit an invoice(s) for payment. The area of application in acres shown on the invoice shall be consistent with the Daily Quality Control Reports and the volume of herbicide applied shown on the Pesticide Application Records.

6. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: All herbicides shall be applied on successive workdays (weather permitting) once the work has commenced. At least three days’ notice shall be given the TPOCs at each project prior to the commencement of spraying at each location. The contractor shall not commence spraying operations prior to receiving approval from the TPOCs.

a. First spray – The TPOCs will contact the contractor between May 1 and June 20 when the need for herbicide application arises under the base contract. Successive option years awarded will utilize the same dates of service. The contractor shall mobilize within 14 days of being contacted. The start date will be coordinated with the TPOCs.

b. Second spray – The TPOCs will contact the contractor between August 1 and September 15 when the need for a second herbicide application arises under the base contract. Successive option years awarded will utilize the same dates of service. The contractor shall mobilize within 14 days of being contacted. The start date will be coordinated with the TPOCs. The second spray is estimated to cover less acreage than the first spray.

7. PERFORMANCE OF WORK: The contractor shall perform work only during normal Corps of Engineers duty hours (7:00am to 3:30pm, Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays). Exceptions to this condition must be coordinated with and approved in advance by the Operations Manager, Susquehanna River Project.

8. ACCIDENT PREVENTION: In performing this contract the contractor shall comply with all current Federal, State, and Local safety regulations, including Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirement Manual EM 385- 1-1 and shall comply with any subsequent changes. Information regarding acquiring the Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirement Manual EM 385-1-1 may be found on the USACE Headquarters website at http://www.usace.army.mil/SafetyandOccupationalHealth/SafetyandHealthRequirementsManual.aspx. Within 14 days of contract award the contractor shall furnish the following for approval by the Government:

a. Accident Prevention Plan Section I, Article 01.A.11, EM 385-1-1, dated 15 Sep 08

b. Activity Hazard Analyses Section I, Article 01.A.13, EM 385-1-1, dated 15 Sep 08

9. PROJECT OPERATION: The locations of work are flood control projects and the contractor’s access to the work areas and the execution of the requirements specified herein shall not interfere with the daily operations of the government operations. The sites of work are subject to periodic flooding. The contractor shall consider the potential for high water levels in the scheduling of work. A specific program shall be established by the contractor to evacuate personnel, equipment, and materials as necessary in the event of high water. It is the responsibility of the contractor to coordinate all work with the TPOCs.

10. ACCIDENT REPORTING: In the event of an accident or injury involving contractor personnel or equipment in performance of work the contractor shall immediately notify the TPOCs and Contracting Officer by the most expedient means feasible. The contractor shall complete forms furnished and/or provide a written description of the incident within 24 hours of notification to do so.

11. HOUSEKEEPING: The contractor shall keep the work area, including storage areas, free from accumulations of waste materials. Before completing the work, the contractor shall remove from the work site and premises, any rubbish, tools, equipment, and materials that are not property of the Government. Upon completing the work the contractor shall restore the work area to the original condition, to be approved by the TPOC.

12. MINIMUM MANPOWER REQUIREMENTS: The contractor shall provide an adequate number of fully qualified personnel to perform the work specified herein. The areas to be sprayed are dam embankments and areas that are not easily accessible. It is suggested but not required that a minimum of three persons are needed to apply the herbicides.
